I am hoping to take a snuby class this summer, and I try and hit the range weekly (two boxes + or - every month). Not a lot, but all I can afford.
As I shop around, I find the lowest priced WCs are Fiocchi and CCI/Blazer. I have not shot these brands much in the past, and never in .38 Special. Is their QC close enough to the same standards as Federal, Remington, Winchester and Black Hills so as to make the savings worth it, or would you recommend sticking with the big 4?
I have enough invested in my Denny Reichard worked-on 640 and 642s to want to avoid unnecessary risk (I know any round can malfunction, but I also know you generally get what you pay for).
Any advise will be appreciated.
